This is the real deal. Stopped in to see our friend David Johnson, Manager. I don't like to go on and on about every detail. Go and experience it yourself. I had the Riccio di Mare e Granchio linguine + sea urchin + crab. Insane if you are an uni fan. Ben ordered the Davanti burger. At first I was like "really?" a burger? Bacon relish, cheese curds and ground fresh in house. Incredible.
Peter DeRuvo is a really great chef and very excited he is on this side of town. Also, I worked with the pizza chef at Franco's back in the day at the Esplanade. He is one of the best.
Going back for a second time this week. Does that tell you anything? Mangia!
